Velocomp Introduces iBike POWERHOUSE for iPhone-iPod touch

Velocomp (www.ibikesports.com) introduced today iBike POWERHOUSE, the worlds first intelligent cycling computer that automatically adjusts to your exercise goals. Based on periodic assessments of your fitness improvements, the revolutionary iBike POWERHOUSE works with your iPhone and iPod touch to measure, guide and motivate you to achieve important health, appearance, and fitness goals. The POWERHOUSE method maximizes the benefit of each ride and shortens the time needed to achieve results.

To be introduced on January 10th at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) in Las Vegas, NV, Booth #3430, iBike POWERHOUSE combines iBikes patented power measurement and analysis technologies with automatically-adjusting, goal-oriented cycling plans -- all delivered through the incredible display and computing power of the iPhone/iPod touch.

Working out with iBike POWERHOUSE is easy. Select a goal-based plan, from "iSlim," "Express Fitness," "Brazilian Butt," "Kid Fit," "Weekend Warrior," "Zero to 50 miles in 3 weeks," and "Healthy Heart" -- just some of the plans available through in-app purchases. Then, over a period of 4-6 weeks, iBike POWERHOUSE guides you through a series of 45-90 minute bike rides. During each ride, you are directed to pedal at specific levels of effort (power), customized to the plans goals and your measured fitness level. So, a "couch potato" will start out at a challenging but lower level of effort, whereas a fitter cyclist will start the same plan at a significantly higher level of effort.

Fitness Plans Designed by Power-Cycling Coach Hunter Allen

iBike POWERHOUSEs fitness plans are designed by Hunter Allen, the worlds foremost power-cycling coach. Allens plans have been proven over nearly 20 years of coaching cyclists at all levels -- from beginner to world class. And, in addition to the structured ride information for each plan, videos are included with tips from Allen for getting the most out of your cycling.

iBike POWERHOUSE is a complete system, including:

· A water/shock resistant case for the iPhone/iPod touch.

· Patented electronics that perform all cycling measurements, including power.

· An app that interacts with iBikes electronics.

· A wireless speed/cadence sensor.

· Universal mounting system.

· The ability to listen to music or take phone calls while cycling

"The iBike POWERHOUSE is the only product that creates cycling plans customized to your fitness level and goals, and that automatically adjusts as you improve", said John Hamann, CEO, Velocomp. "iBike POWERHOUSE is a must for anyone who owns a bike and who wants to achieve measurable improvement towards health and fitness goals."
